Today was rough

I woke up at 4:45am and tried to walk down the stairs to go the restroom. But I couldn't keep my balance so I sat there in silence for fifteen minutes til my dad came out of his room to cook himself breakfast. I wanted to ask him to make so eggs and toast for me since I couldn't currently do it by myself. But the voice I heard come out of me sounded like Rocky when he beat Apollo: slurred, delayed, unintelligible.

Hunger is another side effect of this med so I came down because I thought I could make myself seconds... I couldn't stand up straight; it was like my inner-gyroscope was off. I left the egg half scrambled in the pan next to two pieces of toast not buttered. Then, sleep.

I woke up and tried to text people how the med had worked but my fingers seemingly lost all potent dexterity. I couldn't type a word, let alone a sentence.

The only other off thing that I noticed was that my ability to swallow was impeded and I felt like I was choking multiple times throughout the day.

Also, I was pretty sedate. My affect was pretty flat.

I haven't lost hope... Please keep your prayers coming; I cherish them... oh yeah, please pray that they would allow me to get semi-permanent port to draw blood from, my poor hands have taken a beating.

"The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16).

Love always,
